Verse in a Vase

This verse offers such flowers,
gives them to us,
presents a vase of verse
so simply, yet with grace.

So simply, too, do we
receive them with that grace,
presented as they are
within this dainty vase.

Such a vase, with grace,
such flowers, with grace,
such a vase of verse
containing those flowers with finesse.

Why do we try so hard to create
verse for flowers and a vase
employing such a dainty voice
while we curse so much, oh yes, so much?

Vijay Pandit July 6, 2022 at 5:47 AM Beautiful wordplay. Much to gleam from your message in the ending line. Andrew John July 7, 2022 at 1:50 AM Thank you, Vijay. Interesting to note that in the USA they say "vaize" and in the UK we tend to say "vahze" - ay and ah. But I think things still fit. I wasn't aiming for particular rhymings between vase and grace. Anyway, thanks again for your comments.
